Premium Expansion Preview: Red Beet

Carrots, parsnips, and red beet com with the Premium Expansion for Farming Simulator 22 on November 14th. We already previewed the former two crops, and if you missed it, click the links to catch up! Let's continue with red beet and take a look at the third new crop type. 

Crop Type Info: Red Beet

Red beet (also known as beetroot) is a root vegetable you can instantly identify by its vibrant crimson color. If you taste it, by the earthy, sweet flavor. Red beet is enjoyed both raw and cooked in various culinary dishes, and it's what gives Red Velvet Cakes their distinct red color!

The crop is rich in essential nutrients, including fiber, vitamins, and minerals. That's why it's often used as a nutritious addition to salads, soups, and a variety of side dishes. Juice, too. It's healthy and provides antioxidants. 

Cooking with red beet - how about burgers?

Here are some dishes you can try with red beet as a main ingredient: red beet salad, red beet risotto, red beet carpaccio, or red beet hummus! How about vegetarian red beet burgers, even?

Grate peeled beets, onion, and garlic in a large mixing bowl, add olive oil, eggs, and rolled oats or something with a similar texture, and after the oats soaked up the liquids, you season the mixture with salt and pepper, or whatever spices you see fit. Now, you can shape patties with your hands and fry them in the pan. It's easy, red, and delicious. 

Red Beet: Machines To Plant & Harvest

Similar to carrots and parsnips, red beet profit from you using the new field working step to create ridges before sowing. Apart from that, the process should feel familiar:

After plowing the field, and before sowing red beet, you create ridges using ridge formers (or 'rotary hillers'). This improves your yield, and counts towards the full stage of fertilization. 

Not just the ridge formers like the GRIMME GF 400 & 800 are new with the Premium Expansion. We add seeders like the Kverneland Miniair Nova series.

You can choose from different sizes of harvesters: Operate the Dewulf ZKIVSE, a self-propelled 4-row top lifting harvester with discharge elevator (shown here while harvesting carrots) ...

... or a smaller, more affordable and trailed top lifting harvester like the Dewulf GBC. There's a harvester for every farming operation and their financial situation. Don't forget, that you can lease them, if you just want to try them out!
